Yaringa Alpacas

LOCATION

Yaringa Alpacas is situated at Currency Creek in South Australia, approximately 1 hour drive south of Adelaide, off the Strathalbyn to Goolwa Road.

IN THE BEGINNING ....

Yaringa Alpacas is owned and managed by Susan Haese. We purchased our first two alpacas as pets in 2000 and our fascination with these animals led us to purchase our first two girls in 2002.

Over the next few years we bred a few alpacas of our own and purchased a few more. Our herd grew and by mid 2005 we had 15 animals. Yes, alpacas are addictive!! At this point we decided to build our hobby into a business and purchased syndicate shares in three elite black males, "Coonawarra Gladiator", "Bonnie Park Black Thunder" and "Coonawarra Thunderbolt".

We showed our first alpacas in 2004, and as the years have gone by the show team has got bigger and better each year. Our show results from the beginning are on the "show results" page of this website.

In May 2006 Yaringa Alpaca Stud took over the management of Ray Werfel's Nangkita Alpaca Stud, bringing our combined herd to approximately 40 animals. We purchased a share in another future elite stud male "Ambersun King's Ransom" (light fawn).

June 2008 saw the arrival of Jane Wray's "Classic Alpacas" herd expanding our numbers to more than 100 animals. In December 2008, Yaringa purchased a share in the elite rose grey male "Alpacaspecialist Red Baron". January 2009 saw the commencement of a working relationship with "The Australian Suri Company" owned by Stephanie Pope.

In October 2009, after some months of negotiation, Yaringa Alpacas purchased shares in two new potential stud males "Canchones Ferrari Black ET" (black) and "Shanbrooke Simply the Best" (light fawn). We hope that these young males will be ready to use by late 2010 and will complement our existing bloodlines. We are expecting exciting things from both these males.

We are currently running approximately 300 animals.

Yaringa Alpacas and agistment clients Classic Alpacas, Nangkita Alpacas and The Australian Suri Company look forward to being of service to you.
